Spraying tomatoes or any other kind of plant with aspirin will make them grow better, have less diseases and ward off insects.

Hi all, I came across this article in the web page Garden Myths about spraying aspirin induced water being helpful to plants in general. If anyone is interested in what the USDA says about it, the web page is https://www.gardenmyths.com/aspirin-spray-tomatoes-vegetable-garden/

Good post!

Way too much bro science in gardening. Hobbies are like that.

I learned this morning that vitamin b-1 is too big a molecule to be taken up through plants root membrane.

So much for all the vitamin b products and stories. :-)

He great post , I have used aspirin in my toms crop for many years I plant my toms out and when I water in i use 24 tablets to 20 ltd water and water them in I use it 3 times in there growing period my Grandfather taught me that he also used his old cigarette buts in a jar filled with aspirin water and spray his toms the best crop ever , this is back in the 70’s but he had been doing it way before he showed me , thanks for the article I’ll have a quick read before work . O d ..

I read “way too much bro science in gardening” and I transported back to the 1960’s where secretly passed down bro science was the only tips we had.
That’s when I learned about boiling the roots to push the THC up the stems and how to cure by either drying on dry ice, or burying the bud in coffee cans to cure.

Interesting, if I"m reading you right, you are putting 24 tablets to 5 gal wtr and only feed 3 times while in veg. I have a few sickly plants that I would like to experiment with.

The old guys out here hang their outdoor trees upside down in the barn so the thc drips from the roots and stems down to the buds. Lol

Sure you read the article you posted?

I was talking to One drop and I guess due to me being sort of a newbee to the farm, I'm learning how to press the correct buttons.

I was wanting to know if I was reading his recipe for adding the aspirins to the correct size container, or something like that.

Heavy Fire, a booster, contains salicylic acid.

The point of the article is that there is no supporting science for aspirin.

Yep that's what I do and I don't care about science they don't know everything ..... I see the results when my crop is hanging in the plants .

I've been reading cannabis articles and books for almost 50 years. There was alot of crap written ( bury your weed, don't mind the mold ) over the years that were at a minimum, tragically misinformed.

edit - I had seen this advice/suggestion before ( perhaps 20-25 years ago ) and wondered about the proof. Everyone seems to be looking for some 'weird trick' to succeed. We are in the days of traveling snake-oil, and apparently aspirin.

I think even worse is the fact we weed through how much misinformation daily. But that is kind of the nature to passing information 2nd hand. Its a stones throw from the telephone game.

I still search things across the net and will find a post that links to something else and that is grossly misrepresented information. there is a fine line that most dont separate between "i like it"/"it works for me"/ "ive never experienced negative effects" vs"science says its so". You rarely see people differentiate the two in my opinion.

kind of like when you read canna-nutes marketing pitches. "your plant likes nutrients, and we packed a ton of nutrients..... but you can only give it so many nutrients.... but our nutrients are better nutrients because we source our nitrogen from the original american gladiator nitro, so you know its legit and i called a scientist at one point in this business venture and he assured me primary nutrients are good. So our primary nutrients are 10 zillion times more bioavailable based on independent lab test results we will put on the back of the bottle
back of the bottle:

Love the graphics you shared.

So, ya. Understanding how the nutrient thing works is different - depending on the medium (soil, coco, DWC, etc)

The best thing to start with is an understanding of PH and how that has effect on availability. Then understanding your water source. We have been seeing more new folks here with problems that are probably rooted in their water source quality.

And this would be best before getting sold on some nutrient vendor's plan to get a hold of your cash.

we had to get new well. Went from perfect to piss poor. But ive heard from old timers that say it takes 2-3 years for a well to balance out. so ill chalk it up to new water flowing. BUt yeah i had to get an RO system and i generally dont like RO for the waste water. So i had to setup a system that catches the waste and the clean water. Will use the waste water on my apple trees and such when i spray. So helps me not have to fill that.

Here are my reasons for using aspirin/salicylic acid, copied and pasted from my thread.

"Salicylic acid (SA) is an endogenous growth regulator of phenolic nature and also a signaling molecule, which participates in the regulation of physiological processes in plants such as growth, photosynthesis, and other metabolic processes. Several studies support a major role of SA in modulating the plant response to various abiotic stresses. It is a well-founded fact that SA potentially generates a wide array of metabolic responses in plants and also affects plant-water relations. This molecule also found to be very active in mitigating oxidative stress under adverse environmental conditions."

"Salicylic acid or orthohydroxy benzoic acid is ubiquitously distributed plant growth regulator [5]. Salicylic acid has positive effects on plant growth and developmental processes [5–7]. Research findings demonstrated its roles in seed germination, glycolysis, flowering, fruit yield [8], ion uptake and transport [9], photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance (gs), and in transpiration [10]. Salicylic acid can modulate antioxidant defense system thereby decreasing oxidative stress [11]. Photosynthesis, nitrogen metabolism, proline (Pro) metabolism, production of glycinebetaine (GB), and plant-water relations in abiotic stress affected plants were regulated by SA [12–14]. Induction of defense-related genes and stress resistance in biotic stressed plants have also been reported [15]. Moreover, exogenously applied SA showed putative positive effects on stressed plants [16–20]. Salicylic acid induced genes encoding chaperone, heat shock proteins (HSPs), antioxidants, and secondary metabolites of different types. Moreover, SA was involved in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) regulation, and in the expression [21]. There is no doubt about the vital roles of SA under abiotic stress condition. So, we will review and cover the area regarding the biosynthesis, involvement, and role of salicylic acid on abiotic stress affected plants."

Okay, so awesome. Then I found this.

"Acetylsalicylic acid (C6H4OCOCH3COOH) is the ubiquitous pain reliever known as aspirin."

Salicylic acid (C6H4OHCOOH; it's aspirin's parent compound)...

Salicylic acid is a natural analgesic present in the leaves and bark of certain plants. It is generally unsuitable for internal use, since it is a strong gastric irritant and can cause internal bleeding. In fact, aspirin was invented for this very reason; the acetylated molecule isn't as rough on the digestive tract, although it does hydrolyze to some degree in the stomach."

The water is really clean the PPM and the PH just fluctuates way too high. is no consistency. and the increased ppm makes it tough to get nutes right. I can definitely see a difference in lots of our plants. So im going RO. at least then can cut it for the greenhouses and garden beds til i get it sorted.

I don't know much about bro science, but South Texas Gardening with Bob Webster, turned me on to Liquid Seaweed and molasses as a foliar spray to increase brix and build pest resistance. Works on all my plants. I use Medina brand and add their new Liquid Fish Blend as well.
